7. Red meat

Red meat, with its distinctive crimson hue in its raw state and transformation to a rich brown upon cooking, is renowned for its succulent allure. However, it carries a higher fat and cholesterol content compared to leaner alternatives like poultry or seafood. Indulging in a juicy steak or burger on a daily basis may seem tempting, but it comes with potential health risks, notably an elevated likelihood of developing lethal cancers. 

Research suggests a staggering 22% increase for men and 20% for women in such cases. This is largely attributed to its abundance of saturated fat and cholesterol, which can increase the risk of certain health problems if consumed in excess. Studies have also suggested that the consumption of substantial quantities of red meat, increases the risks of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and specific cancer types, particularly colon cancer.

So, enjoy your steak every now and then, but don’t do this more than once a week. If you’re craving red meat, stick with grass-fed, organic beef.
